"You're a mafia boss," she uttered as he pulled her closer.
"Yup, boss of the Toffee Boys. Problem?" He said, still tasting her skin. He had a strong hold on her waist and back as his lips grazed the sensitive areas of her chest. She pushed him down on the bed and gave him a deep kiss.
"Not at all," she panted. After his clothes were fully off, she let him enter and leaned back. In all of the ecstasy, James almost missed the tattoo on Penelope's lower hip, a small girl holding a honey stick. On top of her head was the exact same black crown.
"F*ck," he thought before his mind fell back into bliss.

James Brooks is having another good day running his candy shop and gang in 1920's London. That is, until the new girl, Penelope Eve, puts a shop and her gang on his turf.
After they get more than personal with each other, Penelope tries to cut ties with James as they compete in the sugar trials to win territory around the world by having the best product.
But can they stay apart? It seems that way when James starts courting Penelope's worst enemy, Beatrice Wells. Will they come together, or will Beatrice and the world of gangs tear them apart?

A week had passed since the meeting with the Seven and everyone was in preparation. During that week Marlene and Tommy slowly recovered, spending time with each other during the day. Penelope and James scolded them both as they were not allowed unless told by their boss to do otherwise.


"Those two are gonna catch a death sentence before they sign a damn paper," Penelope huffed.


"Cut them a little slack. It's the first time I've seen someone break the stick up his ass." James chuckled. They waited in line at the magistrate's office. 


"I'll cut them slack when everything is signed."
